Hello friends,
I just needed to make a really special light for video shooting on cavediving with my friends. Well, I took the brightest LED on the market, a selected BIN 100 Watt COB 5500ºK and designed arround a -200 m water resistant alloy housing, to host batteries (12*18650 LIION pack) and a two level driver.
It is a pleasure to use and transport such a compact light, more when compared with former lights with BIG canisters, ballasts, weak bulbs... The light does what is supposed to do, I mean, it is not a thrower, but a flood monster puting out 10000 lm.
In the future I will research some dedicated aspherics to get at least a 30º beam.
The name was choosen because of a dragon king living in the seas of China, according to mythology Why chinese name? Because the light was designed in Spain (TRITON is the cavediving spaniard team I belong to), but made entirely in China, on a very serious factory with top levels of quality and a great team of Q engineers. At this point I'm not going to hide the origin of things, as many other do.
Regards,
Javier
PD: Of course more pics will follow...as well as beamshots!
